TechCrunch has a post today about a new online group fundraising website, called GoFundMe, that might be a great option for political campaign candidates looking to take donations on their site and track contributions with an interesting social media layout.

I’ve been getting emailed a lot about this question and it frequently popped up during the charity and personal fundraising webinar that we conducted a few weeks back. How do you go about promoting your GoFundMe page and are there any best practices for advertising it to strangers?

I think through Facebook. If you know about the algorithms to make something go viral you can have great success. Get your organisation or friends to share something all at the same time making it trend exponentially. GoFundMe campaigns can be hard work for this reason of trying to get more people to see your cause.
